Pai: I really don't know what happened yesterday, but it has nothing to do with me. Yakumo: So you have forgotten after all. Everything. pg. 61) Yakumo: Yesterday, when I saw the fuuin (seal) on your forehead, I was afraid that was the case. Pai: Fuu...in? Yakumo: That's right. Your powers are sealed off by that thing that looks like a birthmark. Pai: A lie. That's a lie! This mark was made in the bus accident. Yakumo: So is that what your grandfather said? Pai: What? What are you talking about? I don't understand what you're saying. pg. 62) Yakumo: Pai....This is really hard to say but... Yakumo: You are not human.... Yakumo: You are a kind of monster. You are of the legendary race that wields the immortality power. The last of the Sanjiyanunkara. pg. 63) Yakumo: All of the evil spirits and goblins are wandering about trying to get a hold of your power. Because you let yourself be put in that magazine, the've come to Harajuku in swarms. Pai: Ah..Ah... (what is with this guy) Yakumo: Everything your grandfather told you is all lies and fabrication.

Pai: Ha ha ha ha. What's all that about? pg. 69) Yakumo: Huh? Why are you laughing... I meant that your life and mine were connected so we can't separate from each other no matter what...

I'm going to get mad if you don't cool it. pg. 70) Yakumo: You can be such a bitch. Yakumo: Look, I am not lying! Pai: Well then! What makes you say that I'm a youkai?

The one who's lying is your grandfather. pg. 71) Pai: You be quiet! I hate your guts!! Pai: I won't forgive anyone who says bad things about my grandfather. Yakumo: Ah! Wait! pg. 72) Yakumo: Put that on your hand!! It's a kind of Sanjiyan charm. It will allow you to use your powers to a limited degree. Yakumo: In otherwords, if you can use your powers using that, then its proof that you are not human. Yakumo: Damn! pg. 73) Pai: Arrgh!! If only he showed up in a normal sort of way and tried to talk to me in a normal sort of way. It's too bad, he's the sort of type I like too. [flashback] Yakumo: You can be such a bitch. Pai: That big liar!! I hate him!! hummph! pg. 74) Pai: So what part of a quiet girl like me isn't human? There's no such thing as monsters. Pai: Uh..umm. Driver. We've gone past the last stop... Driver: There's nothing to be worried about.... Pai: Eiii! Someone! Help! pg. 75) Pai: No! Stop! This is some kind of joke isn't it? Pai: Eiii! [Pai remembering] Yakumo: It will allow you to use your powers to a limited degree. pg. 76) Pai: Vannish! Begone! Pai: Ahhhh! I guess I am human after all! pg. 77) Matsue: Please don't be frightened, and please don't use your powers. Pai: Huh? Matsue: All I want is for you to grant your eternal life powers. If you refuse, your friends will be in a bit of a pinch. Pai: KenKen!! Don-chan!! pg. 80) Matsue: Be happy father!! I brought the Sanjiyan who is going to grant you eternal life. Matsue: All right Sanjiyan. Use your eternal life powers on my father. pg. 81) Pai: Please! Please let us go home! Matsue: You have but two choices. Whether to give my father eternal life or not. Pai: H...help... Pai: I..I don't know what you're talking about. This "eternal life", this "sanjiyan".... I'm telling the truth. I'm just an ordinary human. pg. 82) Matsue: So you're going to refuse me after all?

Eat her alive! pg. 89) Matsue: Death to the bird that does not sing. Ken/Don-chan: Where? Where is this? my body feels heavy. Pai: Eeeiiii!! Matsue: Ha Ha Ha Ha....

Wood figures should behave like wood figures pg. 94) Yakumo: And go sleep in your toy box. Matsue: You! Matsue: You don't seem to be an ordinary human either! Yakumo: And you don't seem to be ordinary burnable garbage either. [in Japan trash is separated into "burnable" and "non-burnable"] pg. 95) Matsue: Ah ha ha ha ha! You foolish brat! You will regret making me angry!! Matsue: Go ahead and curse your mistake. Of throwing away your one and only life!! pg. 96) Yakumo: Only one life you say? Thats quite a thing for a wood figure to say. Pai: Ahhh! Don't look! Yakumo: Ah Ah. Somehow this looks even more erotic than if you were completly naked... Pai: Oh! You pervert! Yakumo: Perv... pg. 97) Yakumo: Pervert you say! Yakumo: What...about Yakumo: ...me is a pervert!? Pai(thinking): Wow! He's strong... pg. 98) Pai(thinking): He's really cool! Pai: Everything!

Touchao (Earth Claw)! pg. 102) Pai: What! What are you? Yakumo: I already told you didn't I? Young lady [He uses the word "ojousama" which usually refers to a young woman from a wealthy family along with the usual connotations of such] My name is Fujii Yakumo. Yakumo: The one whose life is bound with yours. I guess your bodyguard of sorts. Can you walk? pg. 103) Yakumo: So..What happened to these two anyway? Pai: I don't really know but, their faces were moved to a mannequin. A spider-like one around here somewhere. Yakumo: Stop! Look out! Don't touch! Pai: huh? pg. 104) Matsue: he he he... Die!

Pai: What..oh what has happened! pg. 107) Matsue: My only request is for you to give my father eternal life. Matsue: Since you're not going to grant my request, you are all going to die!! It's too late to regret it now, sanjiyan!! Pai: You're the one who's going to regret it!! pg. 108) Pai: All this you've done is to no avail!! Your father can't become immortal. I'm just an ordinary human!! Pai: But. If you'll return these to back to normal, and take that boy to a hospital, I...I'll do whatever I can to help. Yakumo: "I'll do anything" is not a promise for a young girl to make lightly. pg. 109) Yakumo: "Barasuvidaahi"! You're not human. Matsue: You! You're still alive?! Yakumo: You have the power to defeat this piece of trash monster. The incantation Pai! "Barasuvidahii"!! Pai: Ba...Ba..ra..su..? pg. 110) Yakumo: All of it. Finish the incantation Pai!! Pai: No...no...no.... what is this? pg. 111) Yakumo: Shit! It's no good! Sorry! Yakumo: Are you all right. Hang in there! Pai: Don-chan! Ken-ken! Matsue: It's pointless to struggle. So have you decided to change your mind yet? Pai: What do we do? Yakumo: Shit!! It looks like I'm going to have to fight with your friends. pg. 112) Yakumo: Of all things! I've really got caught up in a real mess. Pai: Sorry! Yakumo: I don't have time for this! Matsue: Waaa..arrrr... Pai: What are you doing? Yakumo: Don't worry! I'm not trying to burn your friends! pg. 113) Pai: But! Yakumo: Come on! If you want to return your friends to normal, then we've got to find the Puppetmaster. Yakumo: I figured it out from the policeman mannequin. This place is the home of their father, the Puppetmaster. Pai: Puppetmaster? Yakumo: That's right!! In order to stop this mess, we have to do something about the black grave. Pai: Rather than that, er have to do something about your wounds. You shouldn't even be moving. Yakumo: I'm fine! Pai: Don't talk!! We have to stop the bleeding! Yakumo: I'm all right I said. I'm not human, so this is no big deal. pg. 114) Pai: If that's the case, then I'm not human either am I? Yakumo: Don't cry! Yakumo: First, I want to apologize to you. That charm I gave to to you, in conjunction with the appropriate incantation will allow you to use your destructive powers. I'm sorry I didn't have time to teach you the incantation. Pai: Me too. I said a lot of horrible things about you. I'm sorry. pg. 115) Pai: However, I still can't believe that I'm some sort of monster. But I guess that can't be helped. Yakumo: Right now, on the surface you're no different than any other human, to the point where you weren't prepared for such strong powers. As long as you don't use your powers, there will probably be no awakening. Pai: Awakening? Yakumo: If you go through the incantation to the end and use your powers... you will awaken sanjiyan for sure. Pai: If I become sanjiyan, then what? Yakumo: Well, you will probably be no longer able to live as a human. Pai: Then what do you intend to do with me. Yakumo: Well, for now let's just not worry about it. pg. 116) Yakumo: Unlike them, I'm not after your powers. I just want you to awaken and get your memory back. Pai: Well no matter which way it is, if I can't live as a normal human thats a big problem. pg. 117) Pai: What is it? What happened? Yakumo: I misread the situation... Yakumo: Oh well. For the time being, lets get out of here. Pai: What? The puppetmaster wasn't there? Yakumo: hmm? Pai: Eeeeiiii! pg. 118) Pai: err! Don/ken: arrrggghh...eiiiii pg. 119) Matsue: I'll just have the four of you die here together. Yakumo: Shit! You're the one who I'm going to send to hell!! Pai: Eiiiii! pg. 120) Pai: You! You! Pai: Enough! Yakumo: No Pai! Don't use your powers!! You won't be able to live as a human!! Matsue: he he he! Yakumo: uuhh! pg. 121) Pai: barasuvidaahi! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Book 3, Story 7(#7) - Daughter of the Archdevil - Part VII Translation by Jeffery Hansen (hansen@cmu.edu) Proofreading by David Park (dpark@sazan.net) pg. 125) Yakumo: P...Pai!

[sign on door] Changing. Don't peek! pg. 136) Yakumo: No it's nothing like that. Being a puppet, it wasn't able to understand human death, and was moving only to seek immortality for its master. Now, she can sleep peacefully without ever having to know her master's death. Pai: Thank you! Pai: Are you still sulking. I think it was bad too so cheer up! pg. 137) Pai: Hey! Yakumo: Why hasn't your memory come back! That should have done it! Pai: Waa! pg. 138) Yakumo: I spent four years combing the world for you and when I finally find you, you do this half-way job of awaking. You fool! Pai: I'm sorry if I made you feel like that. Yakumo: Ah! I feel better! It can't be helped if you don't get your memory back. It isn't your fault after all. Pai: Just who are you anyway! Yakumo: It's good isn't it? Since you didn't get your memory back, you can go on leading a normal life. Yakumo: But I haven't given up. My goal is to get your memory back no matter what! pg. 139) Yakumo: Until then, I will not leave your side. Pai: Why are you so set on getting my memory back? What's kind of memory is it? Yakumo: It's a secret. Yakumo: Don't panic. I'll find a way soon to get your memory back. Pai: gulp Yakumo: hmm Pai: Don't worry about it! Yakumo: Shock treatment! Pai: Eeeeeiiii! pg. 140) Grandmother: Are you looking at the picture Pai was carrying when we found her wandering about Hong Kong? Grandfather: I think that she may be leaving us.... Grandmother: Well, until she says something, lets just forget about it. Grandfather: hmmm. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Index | Previous | Next 3x3 Eyes story, art, and characters Copyright © 1987-1999 Yuzo Takada / Kodansha.
